I tried this one out, and really, really tried to like it, but I couldn't finish the second volume. Which was odd...I liked Vol 1, then I reread it and didn't like it the second time...then couldn't finish vol 2

OTOH, I did like Minekura's Bus Gamer a lot, and wish there had been more(it had a greater sense of comraderie, which is probably why, as it is one of the big appeals of Saiyuki)
